Printable Thanksgiving Masks

Last November, I launched Animal Jr. right before Thanksgiving with a few printable masks and turkey coloring pages. Little did I realize that not even one year later it would be such a huge network of sites for children, and that I would be able to make a living doing crafts and coloring with my kids. I don’t need Thanksgiving to be grateful this year – every day is play day in our family and my life is about as close to perfect as you can get.

So I got a little nostalgic making these Thanksgiving masks today – sometimes that dang universe sure leads us to exactly where we need to be, don’t you think?

Leaf Template Printables

I received a request today from one of our newsletter subscribers, asking for autumn leaf templates. Easy enough, I thought, plus I needed a little inspiration after our long three day Labor Day weekend, anyway! (Yes, I do ‘take requests’!)

I’d love to know what kind of cool projects you use these for. Please inspire all of our readers by leaving your fall leaf project ideas in the comments below!

Edited to add: Check out this gorgeous Pottery Barn inspired fall craft on my other blog that would be a perfect use for these leaf templates!

Thanksgiving Paper Crafts: Turkey Pinwheels

I’m so ready for the holiday season to be here this year! My work load is lighter than it has ever been, and that means = more time for crafting!! I have some really cool Thanksgiving crafts up my sleeve right now – I can wait to do them with my kids and get them posted.

This idea for Turkey pinwheels came to me yesterday when I was out in the car running errands. Is it just me, or do you also get your best ideas at the most inconvenient times, too? Like in the shower – or while I’m cleaning and covered in grime… seriously.

For more Thanksgiving printables, check out these Thanksgiving masks, printable Thanksgiving placecards, and these turkey coloring pages!

Printable Thanksgiving Placecards

Thanksgiving is the start of the season when I start getting all domestic. And when I get domestic, I break out my copy of The Joy of Cooking. It’s not just any copy, but a really old one, which used to be my mother’s, and maybe even used to be my grandmother’s. It’s not quite as old as this 1931 ‘Joy’ reproduction (which I now totally w.a.n.t.), but it is sufficiently old, beat up, and even has some ancient traces of cookie dough on a few pages. I would be absolutely lost without this cookbook, which makes no sense to me, because any other recipe books I own must have photos.

But there’s something very cool and retro about cooking from a cookbook with no pictures and recipes written almost 80 years ago. So when I decided to make Thanksgiving placecards this year, I decided they had to be retro, too.
